Not only that take advantage of Dunlap and Gene being overly aggressive and run counters and draws. Hold on I just checked that would be smart gameplanning. We'll have to wait till the second half.

Hahahhaa. Sad but so true. 1st down HB dive for 4 yards, second down HB dive opposite side for 2 yards, 3rd down 7 step drop with a sack by Dunlap beating Free. Repeat until the 2 minute warning when we go no huddle, spread everyone out, and score a TD in 45 seconds bringing us to only being down 13 by halftime.

Hahahaha. Not so sure if any of you guys have ever watched The League on FX, but I just caught the first episode of season 4 and Jerry Jones is in it. Taco buys DallasCowboys.com and Jerry Jones flies Taco and the guys out to training camp to negotiate a deal to get the website back. Witten, Felix, and Ratliff make appearances as well. I'd recommend watching The League if you are into fantasy football.

He has 6 million in bonus money left per Spotrac and his base salary jumps to 5 million next year. So provided the bonus money is accurate it would cost 1 million more to cut him than keep him. If we wait another year his salary will be 5.5 million with remaining bonus of 4 million which nets to a 1.5 million saving by cutting him.

I highly doubt we cut Ratliff prior to next season although he will definitely not make it to the end of his contract. If I were a betting man I would say after next season.

Also, keeping him means Jerry writes out a check for $5M over 17 weeks for Ratliff. Releasing him means no further money paid out.

To me, a million dollars in additional cap room doesn't justify not having Ratliff in the line-up. You certainly can't replace him for $1M. I think a move to a 4-3 would really benefit Ratliff, as well as Ware, Lee, and Carter.

Yet as good as Romo has been - and let's be very clear here: no QB has been better - the Cowboys only managed a paltry 4-4 record in the eight full December games Romo played from 2009-2012. That's pitiful. And it's also a clear illustration that as good as your QB may be, football is still a team game.

If the Cowboys are going to get over the hump they gotta stop giving up big leads and making bad mistakes. People keep pointing to Romo as if it were as simple as him being a bad player during these months, but he's done what he could and produced.

Cowboys placed CB Orlando Scandrick (hand) on season-ending injured reserve.
Scandrick broke his hand on Thanksgiving Day against the Redskins and was given a 6-8 week timetable for return. He would have only been available if the Cowboys made a deep playoff run. NT Rob Callaway was signed from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

I hope they don't go down early....I hate watching them playing catch up. It like they do everything they can to see if they can win it from behind. I am not sure who calls more plays Garrett or if Romo changes most of them..but Garrentt plays to conservative...i have seen time and time again when we have the lead that right after that when we can go up by 2 scores, Garrett goes back to his RB and calls two straight running plays and expects to pass on 3 and 8. U can't go to the well to often. Mis-Direction is what he should call. He should call plays one day the opposite of what they like to do...HE MIGHT SUCCEED. Garrett needs to allow other coaches to give impout....not that i know if he does or doesn't but as a fan...i believe he doesn't.

Wow, I really didn't see this coming. I never understood how these guys roll the dice and don't arrange for a driver. Very sad for the Brown family and on a much lower note it hurts the team as a whole with Josh's carelessness.

Well I dont feel good about this game. Maybe we can win a shootout but I think Cinn 34-27. Hope Im wrong. What are you guys thinking?

i thought that earlier too but now in light of the recent situation, i think were go out there and play inspired football find a way to win this game. maybe i'm crazy but i think we're gonna play one of the best games we've played all year
